Michelle: I have a huge family, too. So we are scratching the fancy rehearsal dinner in favor of a huge barbeque and kickball game in a local park. It’s more our style, and this way we get to invite EVERYONE!
Glass - here’s the list from Paper Source’s expression kit:
passion, harmony, prosperity, faith, success, devotion, serenity, peace, spirit, patience, grace, gratitude, imagine, miracles, celebrate, happiness, magic, kindness, hope, rejoice, luck, generosity, dream, amore, love, cherish, kiss, honor
there’s honesty, commitment, adoration, devotion…she probably has those already. hmm, peace, romance…
Hey Michelle,
I’ve been to rehearsal dinners where just the immediate family is invited and the wedding party. If you have a flower girl and ring boy obviously you’d have to invite their parents as well. Any wedding coordinators (if they’re friend of the family not hired) are present as well. Pretty much everyone who is taking part in the wedding.
Michelle,
I had to cut the list down too. My list is immediate family (including grandparents), wedding party, and out of town guests.
Glass,
I also like fate, destiny, & wish.
I have a question for the beehive…
Does anyone know where you can find a wide aisle runner (more than 36″ in width, and about 100 ft in length) that is affordable?
does anyone have a day of wedding coordinator they would recommend in the nyc area
rain - whats your budget? they range from 1,000 to 10,000 in nyc.
Emmie- Aisleswithstyle.com sells runners in 46″ widths. If that’s out of your range, you could try to DIY using fabric from a fabric store.
I’m not sure what my budget is, but i’m really looking for some one to just piece together the reception in queens, my dilema is this, I’m having a banquet in queens for approx 850 people, we cant afford centerpieces (florally) so i’ve come up with a way to make them, however I need someone to do that and make sure the night runs smoothly. I just dont trust chinese restaurants to have anything of quality, such as arrangement, linens and service but if its what the parents what its what they will get
I have a question for the beehive.
Does anyone know the appropriate use of “Miss” vs. “Ms.” when addressing invites?
If it’s a single woman in her 20’s or 30’s, do you use “Miss” still? Or “Ms.”?
hf- Miss, thats how we did our invites, they were in their 30’s
Any single female over the age of 12 was “Ms” on my invites.
it sounds like an asian planner specifically one familiar with chinese banquets would be your best bet. i don’t know any chinese planners, but my planners at http://www.inanyevent.biz did a great job.
Looking for brides that had their chinese banquet in queens, would like some suggestion on how to decorate
I also vote for Ms if the person is older than a teenager. Just seems safer and all encompassing to me.
Rain, I think it’d be difficult to advise you on decor ideas without an idea of your venue. But generally, fabric (color & texture), lighting (candles, paper lanterns, string lights), and flowers (color & texture) are the elements used to decorate a room.
Glass, it looks like you got a lot of words already. If you need more, thesaurus.com might help!
hf: Technically, it’s considered “incorrect” according to Miss Manners to use Ms. outside of a business setting–for social settings you should use Miss or Mrs. I think you should think about what your guests would want: would she prefer Miss or Ms.? If you don’t know her well enough to know her preference, she can’t blame you for using the correct etiquette of Miss.
I would strongly prefer Ms. Ms. was invented as a counterpoint to Mr in that like Mr., Ms. does not refer to a woman’s married status. I find Miss to be outdated and was miffed that my friend addressed me as Miss on her wedding invitation even after I told her not to.
You could also use the word “love” in 20 languages if you can’t find enough other words you like.
